    Ringtons ginger are the biscuit of the Gods. The delivery bloke has a similar problem at our house, Tigress. He has to stand there and wait while whoever went to the door goes around the house shouting "It's Ringtons, do you want out?".

    But yeah. Ringtons Ginger is the biscuit of the Gods.

    Next time I see him I'm going to rant like **** about the Allams for an hour <laugh>

    My uncle once found himself in a factory where they were making Russian Slice and never touched it again.

    Do they even make Russian Slice any more, I can't remember seeing it for years?

    I never touch Quorn products after been involved in some safety tests in the early 90s.

    If only the veggies knew ...

    So I might have met Filey after all, I worked at Butlins Filey in 1976 in the restaurant. The amount of food that fell onto the floor and the 30 second rule was used :emoticon-0104-surpr

    I worked the ice cream kiosks then, usually the one by the swimming pool- great times.

    Good question. I haven't seen it in years. Think I used to get it from Skellys.

    I rarely go in Cooplands/Greggs sort of places these days so not sure.

    one of the shops nearby when i was younger (hick's?) sold these large (similar diameter to wagon wheels) round biscuits with lots of chocolate on looking like it had been ploughed. they were called shrewsbury biscuits and were very nice. i've been looking for them ever since and even the people of shrewsbury know nothing about them.

    there's a shrewsbury cake (on wiki) and several sites claim recipes for shrewsbury biscuits that look like wiki's shrewsbury cakes.. whatever it was, it did have chocolate on, i doubt i'll get to the bottom of the puzzle.

    I used to call into Hick’s on the corner of Wyndham Street and Wenlock Street every day on my way to school, they used to do a round shortcake biscuit with jam in the middle, a bit like a jammy dodger but a zillion times nicer.
